Typically, new members join Nomads as a result of having been introduced as a guest to the club by an existing member. At that first introduction, the member should endeavor to introduce the Guest to the Convener of Membership, who is currently Bobby Schoonraad.

The Guest is handed an information pack by the convener that includes an Introductory Brochure, Application Form and Instructions for becoming a member.

Should the guest be interested in becoming a member the introducing member should arrange with the guest to attend a second playing day where the guest will play with a current management committee member. Such an arrangement ensures the guest is fully aware of the purpose and standards that are representative of the Nomads ethos, and it also provides an informed forum for qualifying any outstanding questions that a prospective new member might have about joining Nomads. Only Nomads who have been a member for at least 12 months or have played in at least 6 playing days are able to propose or second a guest’s application.

The completed Application Form should then be sent or handed to the Membership Convener. The application is considered for approval at the next monthly committee meeting. Notification of acceptance as a member is sent to the new member by letter and the Treasurer issues an invoice for membership fees. A Nomads playing shirt, dress shirt and cap is provided. The new member will have access to the website and may order any further Nomads gear they require
